A fresh week has brought a lot of fresh power. You know what that means! Actually, no you don’t. Because neither do I.

Fear Factory have re-signed with Nuclear Blast, who they’ve been with since 2013, releasing Genexus, Aggression Continuum, and Recoded through the label. So we’ll see what their next chapter holds. This announcement also falls about a month ahead of the “Rise Of The Machine” North American tour with Static-X.
Colorado death/thrash outfit Necropanther are releasing their fourth full-length album, Betrayal, on March 3rd. Give the first single, “One and Only”, a listen over on their Bandcamp page.
German blackened death metal collective Thron have announced a new album, Dust, which is set for a March 31st release through Listenable Records. We don’t have a full track to share yet, but give this teaser video a quick watch.
American Nightmare are back with a new EP, titled Dedicated to the Next World, which will be out on June 2nd through Heartworm Press. Give the first single, “Self Check-Out”, a listen below right now.

Been listening to A LOT of In Flames in recent days. Not gonna explain why just yet.

Chrome Waves, a project I caught onto after the release of A Grief Observed in 2018, just completed their second full-length. Where We Live will be out this coming September through Disorder Recordings. Here’s a teaser for those interested.
Satan has announced the upcoming release of Early Rituals, which will include a collection of their fully remastered demos. That will be available September 25th through Listenable Records.
Mörk Gryning also dropped a teaser for their upcoming new album, Hinsides Vrede, which drops on October 23rd through Season of Mist. Get an idea of what’s upcoming right here.
Bleed Someone Dry released a new lyric video today for “Mephistophelian”, which you can check out below. Unorthodox is available now through Wormholedeath / The Orchard.

I just opened the inbox and saw something from something called Ghost Toast. That made me smile. Anyway, moving on…

Intronaut have kicked out a new single called “Pangloss” ahead of the release of their sixth studio album, Fluid Existential Inversions. That album will officially be out on February 28th via Metal Blade Records.
Barishi have revealed new album details today. Old Smoke will be out on April 24th through Season of Mist. Better yet, they are currently touring with Ether Coven. No dates near me, however. Sad!
Immortal Guardian have recently entered the studio. It appears as though they have started the recording process for their sophomore album, with an expected release date some time in the fall. They’ve got upcoming North American tour dates with Powerglove, as well. Good stuff all around.
Thanatos has an album coming out on March 20th through Listenable Records called Violent Death Rituals. Check out the lyric video for the title track immediately below.

People are stupid.

Tribulation are releasing a live album and DVD called Alive & Dead At Södra Teatern. This, their first live album, will be out on November 15th via Metal Blade, and pre-orders begin September 27th.
More exciting news. Wilderun, a band I deeply adore, have announced that their third album is on the way. It will be called Veil of Imagination and it is scheduled for a November 1st release. Better yet, they have some regional live dates on the calendar immediately following the release. More info to come on this one.
In case you were wondering what Metallica sounds like when covered by Fister, check out their version of “For Whom the Bell Tolls” right here. It’s one of my favorite Metallica songs ever, so I’ll let you know what I think a little later. Or I won’t. TBD there. Anyway, Fister’s cover album, titled Decade of Depression, will be out on September 27th via Listenable Records.
I Prevail dropped a new music video for “Gasoline”. A reminder that Trauma is out now on Fearless Records.

Initial Descent: February 4 – 10, 2018

Another weekend, another relief. It’s been a long and I mean LONG week but finally it’s time to kick those feet up and let the rough side drag. And you better believe I’m letting it drag whilst listening to all this week has to offer and HEY, you should be too. Kicking things off is the ultimate good time, off-kilter and absolutely outstanding Netherlands with their new EP Hope Porn — hit up “Rewild!” and let your worries melt away. Next up is The Atlas Moth with Coma Noir and I’m telling you now, this band has never sounded better, progressive sludge at its finest. Following that is Under the Mountain by King Witch and I dare you to find a better song than “Ancients” — the 70’s swing and classic rock vibes just drip from every note here. And closing the top slots this week is Fu Manchu with Clone of the Universe and honestly their brand of desert rock hasn’t sounded this good since the days of “Weird Beard.” Look that up and get back to me. So, another fantastic start but we are long from being done. Jump in and have fun, that’s what it’s all about. Continue reading →
